Struggle for Seed Funding- By startupmentor.co.in

The amazing penetration of the concept of seed funding for startups is quite evident from the enquiries that startupmentor gets on a daily basis from
Interiors of Odisha, Bihar, Maharashtra, Kolkata are bustling with the startup bug and are very active in seeking information.
Seed fund events are always full to capacity Startupmentor does it differently. Says, Girija Nair, “If you cannot manage to sell your concept, service and yourself to your friends and family, how ready would you be to convince the investor we get?”
Startupmentor therefore, does not take ventures who approach for seed funding.
The demerits of seed funding, as Girija (founder )sees it:

  1. Low or almost no valuation
    2. Early dilution and that too, a good percentage, at times, even the majority of stake.
    3. Huge delay in the process of locating, applying, pitching, shortlisting, negotiations and so

“All this time can be utilized to executing an idea, rather than spend time in locating seed funding. And ventures with founders having no skin in the game are a risky affair.”, feels Girija.
Startupmentor, as a policy, therefore, only backs ventures who have their own seed funds.
